New Digs

This past Friday, we moved into the new station, starting with 2nd Relief.

Most of the computers are not working properly. There are no phones at the majority of the desks. There are boxes and piles of junk everywhere.

Many of the multi-million dollar features of the state-of-the-art building are not working properly.

The door to the video holding rooms doesn't open unless you put your shoulder to it due to a poor installation.

Our brand new car is out of commission until someone can figure out the problem with the CAD dispatch on the computer.

Our new evidence control procedure is nothing more than duplicating the exact same thing we had been doing before only through a third party over the phone. Plus we still have to do it the old was as well for some unexplained reason.

Tonight was our first arrest in the new station. What would have taken us two hours in the old place took us nearly seven in the new one.
